The Old Derb Returns
He was quite absent in the Corner during the election, presumably because he was too honest to tell the requisite lies about the Palin farce. He's back now, and horrified, of course, that Obama is president. But it has to be a land speed Godwin's law record for someone to compare a president-elect, only days after the election, with both Hitler and Stalin. I do think that comparing Obama's proposals for voluntary service to the forced labor marches in building the White Sea-Baltic canal by Stalin is absurd. But it is also deeply insulting to the actual victims of Stalinism.
At no point, to my best recollection, did Derbyshire protest when the Bush administration actually did use Communist torture techniques against incarcerated terror suspects. But maybe his revulsion at the methods of totalitarians will shortly be revived now that there's a black man in the White House.
